4 NAMELESS CASE.

MY case has been n very curious one for about thir
teen years. At intervals of about one week | would
be attacked with spells Of severe and most excrucia-
ting pain, always commencing in the region OF my
kidneys. The pain would then go upwards and affect
my body and head, and seemed to penetrate my very
~eye-balIs, creating the most intense suffering, lasting
about eight hours each spell.
I rcsorted to all kinds of medicine without benefit.
Several doctors treated my case, but none gave rellet'
finally used B. B. B. as an experiment, and to my
utter astonishment all pain and suffering vanished
nfter using three doses. To the present time | have
used three bottles, and not a pain has ever returned.
do not know what was the matter, neither could
my physician name the complaint. The b. Is. D.
acted finely and powerfully upon my kidneys; my
appetite has been splendid and my constitution built
up rapidly. .IHoMAo,

KILLING RATS BY STRATEGY.-"To at
tempt to catch rats by traps or by poison:
ing them suddenly will fall" said an old
rat-catcher to a reporter. sold rats know
too much and can be caught only by kind.
ness. "To destroy them give them a good
meal every day. DO not put any poison
in the food, but simply prepare a dish for
them daily, as a free lunch, composed OF
corn meal moistened with milk, into
which one egg with salt to season has
been beaten. At first they may not touch
it, but keep it before them, making it
fresh every day. They will soon try a
little, and if not injurious their suspicion
will be allayed. In a week or ten days
they will expect it and every rat on the
place will be at the appointed spot for the
treat. Give plenty of it so as to induce all
the rats in the neighborhood to join in:
Do not be in a hurry to poison them. If
they eat all the food give them a larger
portion the nexttime. AS soon they have
thrown off all suspicion get some phos-
phorous paste or, other rat poison, mix it
with the food and be sure to give them
enough and something to spare, so as to
induce all to eat. They will either be
killed or become so suspicious of all food
that no rat will remain.

TAKE CARE OF Your FARM Tools AND
ADMINISTRATIONS your implements
and tools. They cost considerable money
if they are such tools and implements as a
good farmer ought to have. Can you af-
ford not to shelter them? They last twice
as long, if sheltered and taken care of, as
tools and implements should be. Can you
afford to lose half their value by neglect?
We know such advice and calling atten-
ton to the same is old and stale; but if the
suggestions are good, it should not matter
with you. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are actually lost by the farmers of the
United States annually by neglecting to
put their implements under cover when
not in use. 10 be a successful farmer, one
must practice economy in many ways, n
to make a tool or machine last twice as
long, by sheltering and repairing broke
parts at the proper time, is one of the best
ways to economize, for you save the cost
of a new implement.
1t is only very rich men that can afford
to leave their tools and implements unshel-
tered from the neutrality-suspicious. LlUe-

TO FATTEN A LEAN HoRsE.-To rem
der a lean horse quietly plump and pleas
ing to the eyes of the amateur, he is usu-
ally fed on half an allowance of hay, a'few
oats, and a large mash of boiled barley
daily. To contribute to the good mellow
coat he may besides receive about q pound
of linseed cake, and should be kept in a
rather warm stable. The dealer treats
the poor horse preparing for sale much as
the farmer does his feeding cattle. Exer-
else is restricted to the amount sufficient to
maintain a fair appetite, and prevent
thick legs and other evils so apt to follow
from a disturbance in the balance between
food and work. A horse thus kept for
six or eight weeks will appear plump, but
he has no condition for work, and if sense
lessly put to hard work will not only
quickly lose the beef thus laid on, but will
also probably fail from diseases or lame
ness. With more sense and safety a lean
horse in good health may be tolerably
rapidly improved in appearance, and also
in working condition, liberal feeding and
light work, and thus treated will be great
ly more serviceable than if his beef and
lat had been piled on him as if he had
been feeding an OK.

more wool than one hat looks to be twice

desirable, and if n have them they
should be coupled with small, thick-set,

WHITEwAsHING TREEs.-Prof. Riley,
the well-known entomologist, does not APP
prove of whitewashing trees. He says :
i'm reality only one of the four trouble
some insects that infest shade trees can in
anyway be affected by the wash and that
is the tussock moth. So far as the white
washing reaches, a certain number of the
cocoons will be loosened and exposed to
the rains or rubbed off by the washing,
and, and it may be possible that the lime
will affect them, though there is no evil
dence that such is the case. But it is of no
earthly use against the bag worm or the
elm leaf beetle or the web worm"
AS to tree boxes Prof. Riley says:
"While these may be necessary on account
of the injury that without them horses
and other animals, as we'll as mischievous
boys, would infict upon the trees un-
til these have attained a certain size, they
are always harmful. They injure the
trees by chatting and by the pressure of the
bandages When of wood, as they are in
the city of Washington, they are particular
ly injurious, because they serve as midi for
different insects. If the law cannot be
made so strict as to prevent injury from
horses or lads, then I would advise the use
of round iron boxes"

"That's good. T always prefer to travel

He returned in five minutes, wiping his
mouth on the back OF his hand, n asked:
"Has my train gone yet?"
"No, sir; you still have fourteen min
utes to spare"
"That's good, and I guess I'll go back for
a little brandy" =.
When he again returned he felt in good
spirits, and a%scertaining that he still had
six minutes to spare, he said:
Snow, that's what I call liberal, and I'll
lay In one more drink" 49,,
The last one proved more than he could
bear up under, and he was not seen again
for three hours. Then he came round with
a wabble in his gait and an uncertain look
in his eyes, and asked:
"Shay, what time does that Gran River
